Management - Environmental Ethics and OHV use

Watkins, T. H. (1969). Infernal machines on the public lands. Cry California, 4(2), 6-19.

Abstract

Environmental degradation caused by off-road vehicle use on public lands in California is described in this non technical article. Effects of motorcycles and other vehicles on wildlife are difficult to measure, but the California Department of Fish and Game is quoted as citing adverse effects through harassment of wildlife by indiscriminate use of off-road vehicles. New policies and laws are required to protect public lands from unacceptable damage due to off-road vehicle use.
